Top 10 of 3,713 law firms for Advising Executors, Wills, Trusts & Probate

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Where a person dies leaving a will, solicitors advise executors on gathering the estate, paying debts and legacies, and applying for the grant of probate. They draft and check the estate accounts, liaise with HM Revenue & Customs and the Probate Registry, identify beneficiaries, and handle claims against the estate. They also navigate deadlines, fiduciary duties and, where relevant, disputes, ensuring assets are distributed in accordance with the will and the law.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The grant of probate is a decisive, time‑sensitive step. A solicitor helps the executor meet the legal duties, prepare and submit the necessary papers, address Inheritance Tax and other liabilities, and keep detailed, auditable records to protect the executor from personal liability if a mistake occurs.

Debra Hepplestall

Tagged solicitor Debra Hepplestall

Acting as Powers of Attorney, we engaged Easthams to do the conveyancing on our father's property. Sadly our Dad passed away, meaning the sale could not progress until Probate was granted. Our solicitor remained personable and sensitive to the situation, whilst continuing to update our buyers solicitor and estate agent. On receipt of Probate, our solicitor acted swiftly ensuring all Executors were appraised of progress and remained contactable should there have been any queries. A professional service with a personal touch.

Shay Saba

Tagged solicitor Shay Saba

My sister and I sold our late father’s house by auction and used Brown Turner Ross for the conveyancing. We were allocated Shay Saba who has been excellent throughout the whole process. He was very quick in responding to emails, explained everything thoroughly to us and ensured the whole process went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him and would use him again if I needed to.

I had put off writing a will for years and just didn’t get round to it. Once Maggie’s started the Will Writing service, I was really pleased to take part and I got just the encouragement I needed to make the appointment- as I knew my donation would go to help Maggie’s Manchester! The solicitor, Tasnim Khalid was wonderful and made me feel very relaxed, she made the whole experience straightforward and just made sure I hadn’t missed anything out. It took about 40 minutes and afterwards I immediately felt a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could forget about it, knowing that everything was now arranged as I wanted. I also wanted to support Maggie’s Manchester because they offer an amazing support service to everyone affected by cancer. It was a bonus being able to see the solicitor at Maggie’s in the beautiful centre here.

Probate advice at the time of Covid-19 was not easiest of times to be in, especially when I was dealing with the whole ordeal from abroad. This account account of my experience relates specifically to my Solicitor Patrice Lawrence. Although it took me a while to develop this sense of personal rapport with her, I feel she puts in a good dose of value added service in her professional work. As I run my own professional I am quite surprised that she is not rated as 5 stars as I think she should be. I hope my short account will raise her rating. You will also appreciate the strength of my recommendation as my probate dealings was over a period of more than 2 years. In the final analysis her human touch shone through.

Rebecca Widdowson

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Widdowson

Rebecca was my rock for nearly two years when I was, albeit reluctantly, my stepmother's executor, although living outside the UK. She was always calmly competent and organized not only the legal side of matters but also the clearance of the house and even roof repairs! In my opinion a top notch solicitor!
